Minimizing prediction errors in predictive processing: from inconsistency to non-representationalism
Predictive processing is an increasingly popular approach to cognition, perception and action. It says that the brain is essentially a hierarchical...

Categoricity Problem for LP and K3
Even though the strong relationship between proof-theoretic and model-theoretic notions in one’s logical theory can be shown by soundness and...

From Counterfactual Conditionals to Temporal Conditionals
Although it receives less attention, (Lewis in Noûs 13:455–476, 1979. https://doi.org/10.2307/2215339 ) admitted that the branching-time(-like) model...

Dialogue games and deductive information: a dialogical account of the concept of virtual information
There is a broad debate in contemporary philosophy of logic on the informativeness of proofs. In this context, informative proofs are demonstrations...

Identity and Harmony and Modality
Stephen Read presented harmonious inference rules for identity in classical predicate logic. I demonstrate here how this approach can be generalised...

How to Solve the Liar Paradox Without Sacrificing Classical Logic
After seven chapters of seeing how important proposed solutions to the paradoxes can go wrong, several important things learned along the way are...

Molecularity in the Theory of Meaning and the Topic Neutrality of Logic
Without directly addressing the Demarcation Problem for logic—the problem of distinguishing logical vocabulary from others—we focus on distinctive...

The Inference-Marker View of Logical Notions: What a Pragmatist Proposal Looks Like
In this chapter, I discuss an informed pragmatist proposal for characterising the class of logical constants, which I call ‘the inference-marker...

Categoricity by convention
On a widespread naturalist view, the meanings of mathematical terms are determined, and can only be determined, by the way we use mathematical...

Perceptual warrant and internal access
Perceptual beliefs that categorize objects can be justified by demonstrating basic properties (eg shapes) of the objects. In these justifications,...

Modal Normativism and Metasemantics
I argue that we can accept modal normativism—the view that the function of modal claims is to express semantic rules—while also accepting possible...

The Sceptic, The Outsider, and Other Minds
The usual way with scepticism is to formulate a problem in connection with the external world and then apply this to other minds. Drawing on work by...

Pejorative Terms and the Semantic Strategy
Christopher Hom has recently argued that the best-overall account of the meaning of pejorative terms is a semantic account according to which...

Conditionals and specific links—an experimental study
Based on the new experimental evidence, we argue that a link between a conditional antecedent and the consequent is semantically expressed rather...

Moral perception, inference, and intuition
Sarah McGrath argues that moral perception has an advantage over its rivals in its ability to explain ordinary moral knowledge. I disagree. After...

Proof-theoretic semantics as a resource for expressing semantic variability
The paper highlights proof-theoretic semantics as providing natural resources for capturing semantic variation in natural language. The semantic...

Popper’s Theory of Deductive Logic
We present Popper’s theory of deductive logic as exhibited in his articles published between 1947 and 1949. After an introduction to Popper’s...
